Emile Mercier has a blend of Franco- Austral humour that is all his own and it comes from having a French New Caledonian family and long resi dence in Sydney.

He appears in the Sydney "Sun" daily and once a year brings out a small Christmas book of his collected "works". At right is a sample of this year's effort which is called "Don't Shove!" All Emile's Christmas books have zany titles, and his humour may make more sense to Sydneysiders than to anyone else— but even foreigners should get some laughs.
